I Had the Time of My Life

It's June 3, which means I graduate in exactly six days from now. I plan on living it up all week long. I had practically nothing to do all quarter, but it still went so fast. I shouldn't be surprised though; I don't even know what happened to the last four years let alone the last three months.

So I actually slept on the couch last night, which is why I'm awake so early. Someone else got up, and it woke me up so now I'm here. I had a really weird dream last night about someone I went to high school with, whom I've seen maybe twice in the last three years. The funny thing is, is that we weren't really friends. Acquaintances, sure. Friendly, of course. But dream worthy? I don't think so.

The week should be pretty eventful. We're having a burning tonight, Summer turns 21 tomorrow, I'm making a family dinner Tuesday, my only final is Wednesday and the family will be here Friday.

We've started planning trips to see each other over the summer. I see another Buffalo trip and plenty of trips to Athens this summer, which will be awesome, but I'm still going to cry so hard. I'm such a ceremonial crier: weddings, graduations, etc. Beyond commencement, I"ll probably cry the entire drive back to Pennsylvania. It will be waterfalls, trust me. If you need to find me follow the trail of gushing tears.

It's different because I'm not only graduating, but I'm leaving my second family here. It's worse than leaving home for the first time because at least when you leave home, you know when you get back everyone will still be there. This is different. This is my entire family divorced each other and moved to other parts of the country. This is going to be heartbreaking.

I'm just going to miss this place so much. I really don't think anyone can understand what it's like to go to OU. The people here, the campus, Athens just everything about it will be forever ingrained in me. And I'll never be able to make friends like the one's I have here. These were the first people to know me without knowing everything about me since kindergarten. We chose each other as friends, and you all mean the world to me. Alright I'm gonna peace out before I start crying. But just in case I forget to tell you all later, thanks to everyone who helped me have the time of my life for the last four years.
